    “I’m standing with the people of Israel who are coming under bombardment attacks and condemn the Hamas terrorists,” Yang, a Democrat, tweeted on Monday. “The people of NYC will always stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel who face down terrorism and persevere.”

    Yang’s solidarity with Israel was praised by Republicans such as Sen. Ted Cruz. (R-Texas). The latter wrote on Twitter, “Bravo to Yang for opposing the rabidly pro-Hamas & anti-Israel attacks from fellow Dems Omar & Tlaib,” referring to Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), who have both showed support for Palestinians amid the violence of the past few days.

    Stephen Miller, who was a senior advisor to former President Donald Trump, tweeted that Yang was “exactly right.” Meghan McCain, co-host of “The View” and daughter of the late Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain, retweeted Yang’s message and added “#YANGGANG.”

    the fact that his Jewish advisor is a Neturei Karta member with the last name Schwartz makes me nervous trusting HIS judgement.

    He seems to be saying the right things. I like his rhetoric. But I am a little nervous that he will flip flop. Does he really mean what he says ? We never saw him in action. We know in the presidential primaries he was super progressive liberal with crazy universial income ideas. That’s not a stira to his remarks . A progressive can still be pro yeshivas and Israel. But usually it’s not the case. How do we know he is for real ?

    Yang will say and do anything to stay in the spotlight. He’s far left on every issue, but now he suddenly supports HaEretz? Like Trump, he couldn’t find it on a map.
